Laticrete Expands TX Operation

Laticrete International Inc. says it is building a 70,000-square-foot addition to an existing 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Grand Prairie, TX.

The expansion will create the company’s largest manufacturing and distribution center outside of its Bethany, CT, headquarters.

The facility manufactures a wide array of products for the construction industry, employs a staff of more than 30 and recently added a third shift to meet increasing demand, according to Laticrete.

“This year Laticrete celebrates its 60th anniversary, and there is no more fitting way to celebrate than with a ground breaking to serve unprecedented growth,” said Henry B. Rothberg, the company’s co-owner.

The move follows recent acquisitions and product line expansions, according to Laticrete. The company also recently expanded another facility in Pottstown, PA, which serves the northeastern U.S.

The Grand Prairie facility services customers in Texas and serves as a national and international distribution hub. The expanded space will be used immediately for warehousing and will position the facility to meet future manufacturing needs, the company adds.

Laticrete's broad portfolio includes an extensive line of resinous and decorative floor finishes, crack suppression, waterproofing, sound control, floor warming, adhesives and other building products.
